The Arc Alchemist series[2][3] is a family of graphics processing units developed by Intel. The cards are based on the Xe HPG architecture.[4] officially announced on August 17, 2021.[3][5] It will come in both add-on desktop card and laptop form factors. TSMC is set to manufacture the die, using the TSMC N6 process.[6]

Alchemist is set to compete with Nvidia's GeForce 30 series and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series lines.[7][3][8]Alchemist will support hardware-based ray tracing, XeSS or supersampling based on neural networks (similar to Nvidia DLSS),[9] and DirectX 12 Ultimate.[3] Also supported is DisplayPort 2.0 and overclocking. Intel also announced Alchemist's successors, codenamed "Battlemage" for a 2023 release and "Celestial" for a 2024 release.[3]

History[edit]

In April 2018, it was reported that Intel was assembling a team to develop discrete graphics processing units, targeting both datacenters, as well as the PC gaming market, and therefore competitive with products from both Nvidia and AMD.[10] Rumors supporting the claim included that the company had vacancies for over 100 graphics-related jobs, and had taken on former Radeon Technologies Group (AMD) leader Raja Koduri in late 2017 – the new product was reported to be codenamed "Arctic Sound".[10] The project was reported to have initially been targeting video streaming chips for data centers, but had its scope expanded to include desktop GPUs.[10]

In June 2018, Intel confirmed it planned to launch a discrete GPU in 2020.[11]

The first functional discrete "Xe" GPU, codenamed "DG1", was reported as having begun testing in October 2019.[12]

According to a report by hexus.net in late 2019, a discrete GPU would launch in mid 2020; combined GPU/CPU (GPGPU) products were also expected, for data center and autonomous driving applications. The product is expected to be initially built on a 10 nm node (with 7 nm products in 2021) and use Intel's Foveros die stacking packaging technology (see 3D die stacking).[13]
